Something is missing from this year's IAE, and Spectrum/Reddit have the answer: Zyloh explains why no Jax this year (Reddit)
There's at more than one thread on Spectrum sort of repeating the same thing (with replies that are all over the map): Where is Jax McCleary? - General - Star Citizen - Spectrum v6.16.0 (robertsspaceindustries.com). It's the right decision to focus on SQ42. But I miss those little moments of silliness during an event that sometimes takes itself a bit too seriously.
